Just in case you did not know, New Belgium Brewing Company and Ben and Jerry's together developed a beer late last year called&nbsp;<a href="http://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/new-belgium-brewing-pairings">Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale</a>. I tried the beer in back in January and the beer was definitely something I never tasted before.<br /><br />So, when I saw this flavor in ice cream form, I decided to try it.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jXE3vNn16RI/V19SXgt6q2I/AAAAAAAAAu8/h0IkMrYw-QMyqp_YOB18Zo2homlzYNbyQCLcB/s1600/IMG_0967.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jXE3vNn16RI/V19SXgt6q2I/AAAAAAAAAu8/h0IkMrYw-QMyqp_YOB18Zo2homlzYNbyQCLcB/s320/IMG_0967.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale ice cream consists of New Belgium Brown Ale Ice Cream with Fudge Brownie and Salted Caramel Swirls (don't worry - there is no alcohol in it).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VqiJmkjedvg/V19ShC2L78I/AAAAAAAAAvI/hvk4S4dmlyEXyLKieDaXWb_TiKkeuEuFwCLcB/s1600/IMG_0968.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VqiJmkjedvg/V19ShC2L78I/AAAAAAAAAvI/hvk4S4dmlyEXyLKieDaXWb_TiKkeuEuFwCLcB/s320/IMG_0968.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pSZ5ef12H4I/V19ShGbGk6I/AAAAAAAAAvM/lOisuqxu5Q0Q1h8ORYCKDC0XoeSQYNSegCLcB/s1600/IMG_0969.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pSZ5ef12H4I/V19ShGbGk6I/AAAAAAAAAvM/lOisuqxu5Q0Q1h8ORYCKDC0XoeSQYNSegCLcB/s320/IMG_0969.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />I could definitely taste the "hoppy-ness" of the of the beer in the pint. The saltiness is not too overpowering; there is just a hint of it. There were numerous big chunks of fudge brownie in my pint and the texture of them was perfect. The caramel swirls were more like caramel "globs",<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fP2Whl_u3Q8/V19Sg4ZW8RI/AAAAAAAAAvE/virZ5DteRSUWCqod3JJHcma-m3tPxe7pgCLcB/s1600/IMG_0966.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fP2Whl_u3Q8/V19Sg4ZW8RI/AAAAAAAAAvE/virZ5DteRSUWCqod3JJHcma-m3tPxe7pgCLcB/s320/IMG_0966.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Overall, all of the flavors together made for an interesting tasting ice cream.<br /><br />I would rate this one a 8/10. I prefer ice cream that has a little less of a salty flavor component to it but in this pint the salt does compliment all of the flavors well.<br /><br />I bought 2 more flavors: "A Swirled of Difference" and "Cake my Day". I also found that my local Kroger has "Empower Mint" so I may pick up a pint of this as well. My local stores do have a good selection of flavors but I have tried most of these flavors already. I will have to try to find other stores with a more widespread selection.http://benandjerrysfanatic.blogspot.com/2016/06/salted-caramel-brown-ie-ale-ben-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sarah)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303371554732891049.post-8692279972979280630Fri, 03 Jun 2016 22:38:00 +00002016-06-03T18:38:29.635-04:00#findmintben and jerrysbrowniesfudgeice creammintpeppermintNew Ben and Jerry's Flavor!

The raspberry swirls reminds me of raspberry jam and there is a good amount of it within the pint. The marshmallow swirl consisted more of marshmallow globs. The raspberry ice cream does not have a strong ice cream flavor and it is not overwhelming. I did not see a lot of white fudge chocolate cones within my pint. The dark fudge chocolate was plentiful and made the flavor whole for me.<br /><br />Overall, not too exciting of a flavor but it promotes a great cause. I rate it a 7.8/10.<br />Nevertheless, I love the fact that Ben and Jerry's is more than just an ice cream company and tries to make the world a better place.http://benandjerrysfanatic.blogspot.com/2016/04/save-our-swirled-ben-and-jerrys-pint.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sarah)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303371554732891049.post-2330810018483708560Fri, 30 May 2014 14:32:00 +00002014-05-30T10:32:50.579-04:00ben and jerryschocolatecorefudgeice creampeanut butterpeanut butter cuppeanut butter fudge corePeanut Butter Fudge Core - New Flavor!Hi everyone! I picked up a pint of Ben and Jerry's at Walmart the other day and decided to give this flavor a try. It is one of their newer flavors and it has the core in it.<br /><br />Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Fudge Core is Chocolate &amp; Peanut Butter ice creams with mini peanut butter cups &amp; peanut butter fudge core.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8CVGVjRDHJQ/U4iVySZjLaI/AAAAAAAAAsE/_c1khel0xcI/s1600/image+2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8CVGVjRDHJQ/U4iVySZjLaI/AAAAAAAAAsE/_c1khel0xcI/s1600/image+2.jpeg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wTwZ5LJf6j8/U4iVy_qcPrI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/C7oZLPy9X0I/s1600/image3.jpeg" height="320" width="240" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-37G_wtuY5ig/U4iV5TBxaQI/AAAAAAAAAsY/XEIoPqPtCbg/s1600/image4.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-37G_wtuY5ig/U4iV5TBxaQI/AAAAAAAAAsY/XEIoPqPtCbg/s1600/image4.jpeg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><br />&nbsp;This was my first experience with the core and I think that it is a good concept overall. I thought it would be harder in consistency but it is actually really soft, kind of like a creamy texture. It does flow every well with the flavors of the ice creams.<br /><br />The core is in the center of the pint (cuts it in half) but the core in my pint doesn't span through the whole pint (as you can see in the picture). I am not sure if it is just supposed to be in just the center of the pint or span the pint's diameter. The core was every small when I first opened it but it got bigger as I dig deeper into the pint.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0kckEmWvXaM/U4iV6KrzvXI/AAAAAAAAAsc/M6RjWJK4gds/s1600/image5.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0kckEmWvXaM/U4iV6KrzvXI/AAAAAAAAAsc/M6RjWJK4gds/s1600/image5.jpeg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><br />The ice creams are great as usual. Very creamy and smooth. My one complaint is that I do not really taste the peanut butter ice cream as much. The peanut butter flavor is stronger in the core and the cups. I do really like the mini peanut butter cups with in the pint. I just wish there were more of them. I get a peanut butter cup about once in every 3-4 spoonfuls.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xA28WmSu_m0/U4iVyJ9gYrI/AAAAAAAAAsA/G2-IjGpfAlY/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xA28WmSu_m0/U4iVyJ9gYrI/AAAAAAAAAsA/G2-IjGpfAlY/s1600/image.jpeg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I rate this flavor a 8.2/10. I do like the concept of the core, but I wish it spanned the entire diameter of the pint. I also wish the peanut butter ice cream was a little stronger (I LOVE peanut butter so I really wanted more of the peanut butter flavor to "pop" in this pint).<br /><br />Happy eating!http://benandjerrysfanatic.blogspot.com/2014/05/peanut-butter-fudge-core-new-flavor.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sarah)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303371554732891049.post-4246371251760038991Thu, 13 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +00002014-03-15T09:20:00.966-04:00ben and jerryschocolatecorefudgehazed and confusedhazelnutice creamnutellaSurprise Scoop Shop Visit & Hazed and Confused! I went home this past week for spring break. My mom just moved to Virginia so we decided to check out the outlets that are close to our house because I needed clothes for my upcoming clinicals. We did some shopping at the Williamsburg Outlets and realized that there is a Ben and Jerry's Scoop Shop in the middle of the outlets!<br /><br />We went inside the scoop shop and saw that they had Hazed and Confused so of course I had to try it!<br /><br />Ben and Jerry's Hazed and Confused is hazelnut and chocolate ice creams with fudge chips and a hazelnut fudge swirl. I know that Hazed and Confused is one of the new core ice creams that Ben and Jerry's recently came out with. But the scoop shop version of the flavor does not have a core. They have the hazelnut fudge swirl replacing the core. I guess the cores are only found in the pints?!?!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-URe2Nz5IGQ0/UyBlWSgmCzI/AAAAAAAAArg/VtHO8TytFz0/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-URe2Nz5IGQ0/UyBlWSgmCzI/AAAAAAAAArg/VtHO8TytFz0/s1600/image.jpeg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><br />At first glance, it kind of looks like a vanilla and chocolate ice cream with fudge chunks. I did not notice the hazelnut swirls in the ice cream just by looking at the cup (maybe they were mixed in with the ice cream). I took the first bite and it instantly reminded me of Nutella - no surprise since Nutella is basically a hazelnut and chocolate spread. The hazelnut fudge chunks had a little bit more of a fudge/chocolate taste to them. And there was a plentiful amount of them in the cup. These chunks nicely complimented the hazelnut and chocolate ice cream. After digging deeper into the cup of ice cream, I still really didn't notice the hazelnut swirl.

I love hazelnut (I am actually drinking hazelnut coffee as I am writing this) and chocolate so this was a great combination for me.<br /><br />I rate this flavor a 8.9/10.<br /><br />I am going shopping next week sometime to pick up another pint. Hopefully I can find a flavor with the new core at my Walmart.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and happy eating!http://benandjerrysfanatic.blogspot.com/2014/03/surprise-scoop-shop-visit-hazed-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sarah)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303371554732891049.post-4495590123782364159Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:56:00 +00002014-02-26T09:56:41.547-05:00ben and jerryscoconutice creampina coladapineapplesummerIf you like Pina ColadasI had this flavor a little while ago but here is the review (what I remember from it).<br /><br />Ben and Jerry's Pina Colada is Coconut Ice Cream with Pineapple Chunks.

I don't like to make excuses but I have been getting into the core of my graduate school work and research (but I feel like that is always my excuse). I also have 7 midterms this week but I needed a break and freaked out when I saw this:<br /><br />Ben and Jerry's announced that their will be new flavors which will debut this month! The new flavors are Salted Caramel, That's My Jame, Peanut Butter Fudge, and Hazed &amp; Confused.<br /><br />They are also doing something that insures that every spoonful of their ice cream is perfect. And it is absolute genius. Check it out here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/25/ben-jerrys-core-ice-cream_n_4854680.html<br /><br />Be on the lookout for these new flavors.

The swirl does not change the texture of the FroYo and it is swirled throughout the pint (see the picture).

ReviewIt is only fitting that I am reviewing this flavor right before finals week when I need all of the coffee I can get. So here is the review.<br /><br />Ben and Jerry's&nbsp;Coffee, Coffee Buzz, Buzz, Buzz! is Coffee Ice Cream with Espresso Bean Fudge Chunks.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H9VvvY66eXY/UeM_qGzBc0I/AAAAAAAAAqA/qLeMw9GlMG0/s1600/photo+(4).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H9VvvY66eXY/UeM_qGzBc0I/AAAAAAAAAqA/qLeMw9GlMG0/s320/photo+(4).JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U76ePgQW5QA/UeM_pxOYNrI/AAAAAAAAAp8/4_jAqBUv_p0/s1600/photo+(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U76ePgQW5QA/UeM_pxOYNrI/AAAAAAAAAp8/4_jAqBUv_p0/s320/photo+(3).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />This flavor is awesome if you love coffee. Like all Ben and Jerry's flavors, the ice cream is very smooth and creamy. But to me, the highlight of the pint is the espresso fudge chunks. They are pretty big and there is a good amount of them in the pint. It is hard to scoop them out of the pint because of their size. I had to let the ice cream "defrost" a little bit in order to scoop them out and to not bend my spoon. But they are very chocolaty and they have the taste of espresso. I liked that the espresso flavor wasn't very overwhelming and it does not override the actual chocolate. The chunks are not soggy or melted and they have a nice crunch to them.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Wg982R03LxQ/UeM_p9BjvCI/AAAAAAAAAp4/fwKcygpFIIE/s1600/photo+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Wg982R03LxQ/UeM_p9BjvCI/AAAAAAAAAp4/fwKcygpFIIE/s320/photo+(1).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I give this flavor a 9.2/10. It is very simple yet flavorful.<br /><br />I do not know what my next flavor will be. Finals week is coming which means that I will not have time to review. I am hoping to get a new flavor by the end of July/early August.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!http://benandjerrysfanatic.blogspot.com/2013/07/coffee-coffee-buzz-buzz-buzz-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sarah)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303371554732891049.post-2634056751152366791Mon, 24 Jun 2013 01:37:00 +00002013-06-23T21:37:23.507-04:00ben and jerryscoffeegreek froyogreek yogurtice creampassionfruitpineapplePineapple PassionfruitHi everyone. I got sidetracked over the past few months. Graduate school is in full swing. It has literally taken over my life and will continue to take over my life for the next 2 years. I am currently in my summer semester (yes, we have classes in the summer) and I have not been keeping up with this blog (as you all can tell). I am hoping to continue writing reviews about Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and FroYo but the posts will probably be less frequent. With this being said, I say thank you to all of the readers for still reading this blog.<br /><br />I bought Ben and Jerry's Pineapple Passionfruit Greek Yogurt a few months back. I am finally going to do a review of it.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-19Skn519LHo/UcePLbEzwII/AAAAAAAAApQ/cg8BTYON2Jk/s1600/IMG_1275.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-19Skn519LHo/UcePLbEzwII/AAAAAAAAApQ/cg8BTYON2Jk/s320/IMG_1275.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jx0gFeky3xo/UcePMJYMDzI/AAAAAAAAApg/_TrV7ymtu8I/s1600/IMG_1278.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jx0gFeky3xo/UcePMJYMDzI/AAAAAAAAApg/_TrV7ymtu8I/s320/IMG_1278.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Ben and Jerry's Pineapple Passionfruit Greek Yogurt consists of pineapple Greek frozen yogurt with chunks of pineapple &amp; a passionfruit swirl. It has sourness taste to it, just like regular Greek froyo. The texture of the froyo kind of reminded me of a creamsicle (like those orange creamsicles that I used to have when I was little). I am a little disappointed though because I do not have pieces of pineapple in my pint. I do not see them or taste them in the pint. I hope that this is not true for other pints of this flavor. Nevertheless, the passionfruit swirl is visible, tasty, and very strong. This swirl gives the pint a tangy taste, which compliments the Greek yogurt's sourness.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v42E5c7cwJM/UcePMce5LyI/AAAAAAAAApk/VuS-6JjrZw8/s1600/IMG_1277.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v42E5c7cwJM/UcePMce5LyI/AAAAAAAAApk/VuS-6JjrZw8/s320/IMG_1277.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8QJDvLhNrts/UcePL4RJ_CI/AAAAAAAAApY/UBtsx9b24Uw/s1600/IMG_1276.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8QJDvLhNrts/UcePL4RJ_CI/AAAAAAAAApY/UBtsx9b24Uw/s320/IMG_1276.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />This is a very fruity flavor. I feel like it has a refreshing taste for summer. I would rate it a 7.8/10 just because I am missing the pineapple pieces, which are a big component of this flavor. I would probably rate it a 9/10 if it had the pineapple pieces in it.<br /><br />By the way, I brought back the ratings scale because I was asked in a previous post to start rating the flavors. I am not the best at giving ratings but I will do my best.<br /><br />I have Coffee, Coffee, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz in my freezer, which will be my next flavor. I am hoping to write a review for this flavor in July.<br /><br />Thanks again for being patient!<br />And thanks for reading!http://benandjerrysfanatic.blogspot.com/2013/06/pineapple-passionfruit.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sarah)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303371554732891049.post-4389154890044929477Mon, 25 Mar 2013 00:06:00 +00002013-03-24T20:06:18.944-04:00Peanut Butter Cup and 100th Post!It is fitting that this flavor is the new flavor that I tried this week. I have been on a peanut butter "kick" lately and this definitely helped my craving.<br /><br />Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup is Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Cups.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VzUe6V7fUy4/UU-Uq6d3TXI/AAAAAAAAAnk/jKArM1TThdM/s1600/photo+(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VzUe6V7fUy4/UU-Uq6d3TXI/AAAAAAAAAnk/jKArM1TThdM/s320/photo+(3).JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>This pint is definitely for the peanut butter fan. It is a relatively simple flavor and it doesn't have a lot of components to it. The peanut butter ice cream is very smooth and creamy just like other Ben and Jerry's ice creams. I thought that the peanut butter ice cream was not very overwhelming or strong. The strong peanut butter taste comes from the actual peanut butter cups in the pint. The chunks of the cups range from small to pretty large. And you cannot forget the chocolate that surrounds the peanut butter in the cup pieces (just like Reese's Peanut Butter Cup). It also looks like there are small pieces of chocolate in the pint as well (maybe from the outside of the peanut butter cup pieces).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nlDQ49vUiNw/UU-UrFoTxII/AAAAAAAAAns/vuX2U2KQcSY/s1600/photo+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nlDQ49vUiNw/UU-UrFoTxII/AAAAAAAAAns/vuX2U2KQcSY/s320/photo+(2).JPG" width="240" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"></span></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uuFg-14OYsc/UU-UrGrj1RI/AAAAAAAAAno/LVUOJP8mAkM/s1600/photo+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uuFg-14OYsc/UU-UrGrj1RI/AAAAAAAAAno/LVUOJP8mAkM/s320/photo+(1).JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />As I said in the last post, I tried all of the flavors in my local Walmart. Because of this, I went to Kroger to get new flavors (they also had a sale on Ben and Jerry's!). Since they had a sale going on, I picked up 2 new pints. I was able to get Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz, and the Pineapple Passionfruit Greek FroYo. They had the other new flavors there also but I will only be in Michigan for a few more weeks because the semester ends soon. And I will probably get the new flavors while I am home when the semester ends.<br /><br />For the next review, I will probably try the Pineapple Passionfruit Greek FroYo. The review should be out sometime next week since I have a BIG test later this week (wish me luck!).<br /><br />Thanks for reading!http://benandjerrysfanatic.blogspot.com/2013/03/peanut-butter-cup-and-100th-post.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sarah)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303371554732891049.post-5887663326240561917Wed, 13 Mar 2013 22:58:00 +00002013-03-13T18:58:34.832-04:00ben and jerrysice creampeanut butterpeanut butter cupphysical therapyBack from Spring Break with a new flavor...and a favorJust came back to Michigan a few days ago from Spring Break. It's always nice to be back on the East Coast, even if I spent most of my break working. Regardless of that, it still went by too fast. But it is now time to finish off the semester.<br /><br />I went to Walmart and picked up Peanut Butter Cup. I noticed that I have tried every Ben and Jerry's flavor at my Walmart! This means that I have to go to my local Kroger instead for Ben and Jerry's. I hope Kroger has more (and different) flavors, including Ben and Jerry's new flavors, which is something that Walmart does not have in stock.<br /><br />I will be on the look out for "Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz" and their new Greek FroYo flavors "Liz Lemon", "Pineapple Passionfruit", and "Vanilla Honey Caramel".<br /><br />And here is the favor that I posted in the title:<br />Other than being a Ben and Jerry's fan, I am a graduate student studying Physical Therapy.

But my midterms are over and now I have time for a review!<br /><br />The new flavor is Banana Peanut Butter Greek FroYo.

As like any type of Greek yogurt, it has a little bit more of a sour taste to it than&nbsp;regular&nbsp;yogurt. The sour-ness from the yogurt and the sweetness of the banana flavor are actually a pretty good match. After tasting this, I wonder why Greek yogurt makers don't make a banana flavor (at least I haven't seen a banana flavor Greek yogurt yet). The peanut butter adds a salty and nutty taste to the pint. The peanut butter swirl wasn't really a swirl in my pint (see picture below).

Heath Bars are English toffee bars which are covered in milk chocolate.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rhdJp4w9YL4/URq4Q9dhnaI/AAAAAAAAAlo/wYoYNdQxP_Y/s1600/DSCN9653.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rhdJp4w9YL4/URq4Q9dhnaI/AAAAAAAAAlo/wYoYNdQxP_Y/s320/DSCN9653.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />The coffee ice cream is very "beany" and strong. Because of this, it kind of reminds me of Starbucks coffee. The toffee centers of the Heath Bar chunks were melting/oozing out of the chunks and into the ice cream. The milk chocolate from the Heath Bar added a&nbsp;crunchiness to the smooth and creamy texture from the&nbsp;ice cream and the toffee. There are also very small pieces of chocolate in the pint without any toffee filling in them (from the Heath Bar).<br /><div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LY_aAfT2CDs/URq4QwLzpOI/AAAAAAAAAlk/-Z3P-PODVdE/s1600/DSCN9654.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LY_aAfT2CDs/URq4QwLzpOI/AAAAAAAAAlk/-Z3P-PODVdE/s200/DSCN9654.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XtoXHIoIrIo/URq4R7xVyzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/r08ldv8LKlk/s1600/DSCN9656.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XtoXHIoIrIo/URq4R7xVyzI/AAAAAAAAAl8/r08ldv8LKlk/s200/DSCN9656.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LY_aAfT2CDs/URq4QwLzpOI/AAAAAAAAAlk/-Z3P-PODVdE/s1600/DSCN9654.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">I will be going to Walmart tomorrow to pick up a new flavor.

I was going to post this review a few weeks ago but got side tracked when I went home for a few days because of a surprise extra-long break from school. So now I am finally back and here is the review.<br /><br />I tried something different this time. I bought a smaller "pint" at Walmart since they were on sale and they had a flavor that I never tried before: Chocolate Fudge Brownie.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-feSH16ZqAzI/UQca0pWpg3I/AAAAAAAAAk4/_Yj2AqfTze0/s1600/DSCN9563.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-feSH16ZqAzI/UQca0pWpg3I/AAAAAAAAAk4/_Yj2AqfTze0/s320/DSCN9563.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nNagwKvQ_2Q/UQca0vRRH8I/AAAAAAAAAk8/kIUgHjlGZSc/s1600/DSCN9569.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nNagwKvQ_2Q/UQca0vRRH8I/AAAAAAAAAk8/kIUgHjlGZSc/s320/DSCN9569.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />This pint is a single serving of Ben and Jerry's. It also comes with its own spoon!! It is very cute (small things are usually cute...am I right?) and it is perfect for just one serving of our favorite ice cream. Just a warning, these small pints are NOT for over-indulging!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6dcK20vYEtU/UQca0GbShhI/AAAAAAAAAk0/CDlew6TxgFg/s1600/DSCN9570.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6dcK20vYEtU/UQca0GbShhI/AAAAAAAAAk0/CDlew6TxgFg/s320/DSCN9570.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie consists of Chocolate Ice Cream with Fudge Brownies.<br /><br />The chocolate ice cream is very rich and I felt like it had a fudge-like taste to it. After tasting the fudge brownie with the ice cream, I really could not tell the two textures apart but you can definitely taste the two different flavors. The brownie gave the pint more of an intense chocolate flavor even though I said&nbsp;earlier&nbsp;that the ice cream had a fudge-like flavor to it. I find this flavor to be very simple because there are not a lot of components to it.&nbsp;This flavor is definitely for the fudge/chocolate lover that just wants that rich, chocolaty flavor.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-601Pu_FMEhQ/UQca5oD5vZI/AAAAAAAAAlM/y64RHmDtVR4/s1600/DSCN9579.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-601Pu_FMEhQ/UQca5oD5vZI/AAAAAAAAAlM/y64RHmDtVR4/s320/DSCN9579.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />Thank is it!

I had a very fun winter break in which I spent most of my time with my family and friends that I haven't seen in over 4 months. But now it is back to the grind...<br /><br />I went to Walmart and decided to change it up a bit. Walmart had a sale on Ben and Jerry's mini "pints". They are 3.6 oz "pints" of ice cream and they were $1. I saw Chocolate Fudge Brownie and decided to try it.<br /><br />I am hoping to get a review out of Chocolate Fudge Brownie sometime this week!http://benandjerrysfanatic.blogspot.com/2013/01/back-at-school-which-means-more-flavors.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sarah)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303371554732891049.post-7136997305373974918Thu, 27 Dec 2012 04:07:00 +00002012-12-26T23:08:41.142-05:00ben and jerryscannoliice creamIt is Cannoli! Finally! And Happy Holidays!I finally got my hands on my first pint of Cannoli. I have been waiting for this since the flavor came out in late September. It is amazing how many stores have it here in New York but the closest store to me when I am in Michigan is over 30 miles away. I guess that is what happens when you go to school in the middle of nowhere. Anyways, here is the review.<br /><br />Ben and Jerry's Cannoli is Mascarpone Ice Cream with Fudge Covered Cannoli Pastry Shell Chunks &amp; a&nbsp;Mascarpone Swirl.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bgrRTdg-4To/UNvHx0A_9nI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/Bk_IFVCMuEM/s1600/DSCN9554.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bgrRTdg-4To/UNvHx0A_9nI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/Bk_IFVCMuEM/s320/DSCN9554.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />If you like extremely sweet ice cream, this flavor is for you. I found that the mascarpone ice cream is very sweet which is something you notice right away in the first spoonful. There are a lot of fudge covered cannoli pastry shells in the pint. They add a nice crunch to the texture along with adding another level of sweetness to the flavor.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-48Zz5SPshNM/UNvH3jvI2uI/AAAAAAAAAkY/fCFBJbRruZg/s1600/DSCN9555.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-48Zz5SPshNM/UNvH3jvI2uI/AAAAAAAAAkY/fCFBJbRruZg/s320/DSCN9555.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>One thing that I did not notice in the pint are the mascarpone swirls. I was thinking that maybe the swirls are blended into the mascarpone ice cream. If that is the case, I can't really tell the difference between the ice cream and the swirl. This could explain why the ice cream seems extra sweet.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_JJQzXMd-nU/UNvH9DpceSI/AAAAAAAAAkg/KXAmBIhlSt4/s1600/DSCN9558.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_JJQzXMd-nU/UNvH9DpceSI/AAAAAAAAAkg/KXAmBIhlSt4/s320/DSCN9558.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />I probably will not have another flavor until I go back to Michigan right after New Year's. I will let you guys know when I get the new Ben and Jerry's flavor.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!

It is one of my favorite things about this time of year. I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin &nbsp;donuts, pumpkin bread, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin-smelling candles and craving pumpkins around Halloween. And when I heard that Ben and Jerry's was releasing their limited batch Pumpkin Cheesecake, I wanted to get a pint before the season was over.<br /><br />I was not able to get the flavor last year but I heard that the flavor was being sold at Wal-Mart, which is now my primary supermarket. I have been looking for this flavor there since it was re-released in late September/early October. I found it on Thursday, and it freezer looked like it was recently restocked so I wonder if they just got the flavor. Nevertheless, I have it and it is time for a review!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0W0nCQi5_ZA/ULv2iZoBr7I/AAAAAAAAAjk/dAtjpGq_N4o/s1600/DSCN9551.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0W0nCQi5_ZA/ULv2iZoBr7I/AAAAAAAAAjk/dAtjpGq_N4o/s320/DSCN9551.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Ben and Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake consists of pumpkin cheesecake ice cream with a graham cracker swirl.<br /><br />You can smell the pumpkin as soon as you open the top of the pint. But I found that the actual pumpkin flavor of the ice cream was not very overpowering. The cheesecake made the ice cream extremely creamy and smooth and it&nbsp;mellowed the pumpkin flavor a little bit. This allowed all 3 of the major flavors (the pumpkin, cheesecake, and graham cracker) to be equally presented.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kbXULAUwu8g/ULv2jul__KI/AAAAAAAAAjs/F0-LquaYXCw/s1600/DSCN9552.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kbXULAUwu8g/ULv2jul__KI/AAAAAAAAAjs/F0-LquaYXCw/s320/DSCN9552.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />In my pint, the graham cracker was not an actual "swirl". It was very much blended into the pumpkin cheesecake ice cream. Even though there wasn't a true graham cracker swirl, I did have some chunks of graham crackers in a couple of spoonfuls. You can also taste a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon within the ice cream as well. It is a nice combination of flavors.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0te9qHWpfx4/ULv2k0T8n6I/AAAAAAAAAj0/T9LSowS9ya4/s1600/DSCN9553.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0te9qHWpfx4/ULv2k0T8n6I/AAAAAAAAAj0/T9LSowS9ya4/s320/DSCN9553.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>This will probably be the last review for a few weeks (until mid-December at the absolute earliest). It is the end of the semester and I have finals coming up. I will be done in 2 weeks and will be driving back home to Long Island for the first time in 4 months! When I am home, I will definitely be on the lookout for Cannoli.<br /><br />Thanks!

All I got to say is wow. There is so much going on in this pint (just look at the picture below!). There are big chunks of peanut butter cups and white chocolate fudge. The fudge covered almonds are smaller but there is still a good amount of them in the pint.<br /><br />While eating this pint, the best idea that I had was to put a little bit of everything onto one spoonful. The texture and flavor combinations were unreal. The flavors were very intense and it was hard to pinpoint all of them. There was saltiness from the peanut butter cups and almonds, sweetness from the white chocolate fudge chunks and the fudge covering the almonds along with the&nbsp;crunchiness and toffee from the heath bar chunks. You also cannot forget the smooth and creamy chocolate and&nbsp;vanilla ice creams which ties all of the flavors together. It's incredible.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fpj3VXMXXRo/UKl3BDoQMjI/AAAAAAAAAiw/-LthuVnCaZw/s1600/photo+(11).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fpj3VXMXXRo/UKl3BDoQMjI/AAAAAAAAAiw/-LthuVnCaZw/s320/photo+(11).JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />This may be the last review until December.
